6 Stages to Achieve Behavioural Change
1. Precontemplation (Denial) - "I don't have a problem", or refulsal, " I like the way I am.
2. Contemplation (Questioning) - "Do you think I should do something about the problem?"
3. Preparation (Investigation) - "What is my problem doing to my health? How does my problem affect others?"
4. Action (Commitment) - "I've got t okeep doing thi sor I'll never change."
5. Maintenance (6 months after action) - transition, "I must find alternative ways to deal with my problems, avoid bad habits etc."
6. Termination (only about 20% reach this stage) - completion, "I don't have to work at this anymore, I just don't want to go back to my old ways."
Note: This is based on the theory of "positive" and "negative" reinforcement in which it is believed that positive reinforcement works better!
